Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club commonly known as Wolves, is a professional association football club based in the city of Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, England. Formed as St. Luke's F.C. in 1877, the club has played at Molineux Stadium since 1889 and has been competing in the Premier League, the top division of English football, since winning promotion in 2018. The 2020–21 season was the club's 66th season in total at the highest level and seventh since the foundation of the Premier League in 1992.
After becoming one of the first British clubs to install floodlights, Wolves arranged televised "floodlit friendlies" against leading overseas club sides between 1953 and 1956, which were instrumental in the launch of the European Cup in 1955. Wolves reached the quarter-finals of the competition in 1959-60 as well as the semi-finals of the 1960–61 European Cup Winners' Cup and the inaugural UEFA Cup Final in 1972. Following a 39-year absence from European competition, they reached the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals in 2020.
Wolves' traditional kit consists of old gold shirts and socks and black shorts. Since 1979 the kit has also featured the club's "wolf's head" badge. Long-standing rivalries exist with other West Midlands clubs, the main one being the Black Country derby contested with West Bromwich Albion. The two clubs played one another during the 2020–21 season for the first time since 2011–12.
